SSA-719 was standing guard at the entrance to the Theed Royal Palace throne room when QueenPadmé Amidala, disguised as a simple handmaiden, was captured during the Naboo's attempt to retake Theed from Trade Federation control. Amidala and her party were escorted into the throne room, where they were confronted by Federation ViceroyNute Gunray. At that moment, Amidala's handmaiden Sabé, disguised as the queen, approached and stated that the viceroy's occupation had ended. Believing her to be the true queen, Gunray ordered his troops to pursue Sabé. SSA-719 was destroyed by a well-aimed, decapitating blaster shot as Sabé and her group drew Gunray's troops away from the throne room, allowing Amidala to capture the viceroy and end the Trade Federation's occupation of Naboo.[1]
